What the fund is for

The Sad Nuggie Classroom Fund is a pool we keep topped up so we can help classrooms that don't fit neatly into a campaign.

Sometimes a class needs a handful of Nuggies rather than a full set. Sometimes a campaign is close to its goal and stalls. Sometimes a teacher needs something that isn't a Nuggie at all, like books, supplies, or comfort items for a quiet corner. The fund is what lets us say yes to those.

$1 from every Sad Nuggie adopted through The Ollie Project goes straight into it. That means adoptions made on this site for a classroom, not every Sad Nuggie we sell. Supporters can add to it directly, and every dollar in there is spent on classrooms.

Sad Nuggie started the fund with $500 of our own money. Once we begin spending from it, we'll publish a public ledger right here, so you can see every purchase and exactly what it was for.
